SCHOOL SAvlNGS.BANKS.
An Excellent Way Of Developing Habits
OF Thrift In Children.


Of Thrift in Children.
In England. France. Germany. Aus.
tria, Italy and Belgium a system Of
school savings banks has long been in
successful operation, its object being
to encourage young people, and even
small children. in those habits Of thrift
and economy which are the only sure
foundation for material success in life.
In France, in 1882. over ten million
francs Tor two million dollars) stood to
the credit of the school children. while
in Belgium. the city of Client alone
has record Of over one hundred
thousand dollars. The system. which
has now been adopted in several Amer
lean cities, was introduced into this
country by the schools Of Rutland Vt
The teachers retain charge Of the
daily deposits till the end Of each
month, when all individual amounts Of
fifty cents or over are transferred to
savings bank in that city, credit being
given there at once, and regular pass
books issued in the name Of each
pupil. The experiment has been in op.
Grafton in Rutland for one year. and
Superintendent Randall and tn, treas
urer Of the bank unite in reporting
most satisfactory results.
At the outset it was hoped that the
average savings Of the the scholars
who availed themselves of the pain
would equal . cent day each for one
hundred and eighty school days
There have been one hundred and
ninety school days in the year. and
the estimate has been exceeded BY
over twenty-five per cent The whole
number Of books issued Is four hun.
dred and twenty-five. and the total
deposit one thousand and thirty-sev.

an average Of two dollars and forty.

A write; on equine subjects says
Observe your horse when he j:
drinking out of brook; If in bringing
down his head. he remains square,
without bending his limbs. he possesses
sterling qualities, and all parts of his
body are built symme,rically.' This
Is said to be an Arab test.
F D. Coburn says that those who
feed bran TO horses largely are most in
favor of it. One of its advantages is
in keeping the horse from becoming
constipated on dry feed and grain. 1t
is a cheap and valuable feed for horses
at any time. and especially while
changing their coats in the spring.
Some of our agricultural estimates
are deceptive. When man reckons
his hay product, his milk product and
his butter product rs making his ag-
gregate farm product, he reckons some
things twice. The milk is reckoned
both as milk and butter, and the hay
is reckoned as all three. Farm ac-
counting needs to be boiled down a lit.
tie in some cases.
Prof GoesSmann makes wheat
bran for tertilizing purposes worth
$l424 per ton, according to the analy-
sis Of one lot, and $l2 50 for another.
He values pea meal at sl2 81. In fresh
muck he finds $3.50 per cent. of mois-
lure and but onc.quarter of l per cent.
of nitrogen. The dry matter was 10
per cent and the ash per cent, u
considerable part of which was lime
and magnesia.
"A bonnet to shade the horses
head from the sun may thus be made:
Take wire of sufficient size to make
a stiff frame, bend it SO as that it may
be fastened in the bride, and use
enough bows and stays between tho
bows TO make frame larger at the top
than at the bottom aud cover with
cloth. There is your shade. A
sponge wet with water laid on the top
of the head will be good addition.
This little precaution may save your
horse from fatal sun stroke.
One of the secrets in curing hams,
and all other swine flesh, is an even
ranging from sixty to
sixty-iivc degrees. A high degree OF

the temperature is constantly chang.

A pickle. Bacon, or side pork, cured
like ham. is finished off without pick
